BioNTech SE Drops on FDA Vaccine Safety Concerns
Written by Emily J. Thompson, Senior Investment Analyst
Updated: 01 Dec 25
BioNTech SE shares fell by 5.00% today, crossing down the 5-day SMA amid growing concerns regarding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines.
This decline follows a memo from a FDA official linking mRNA vaccines to myocarditis deaths in children, which has raised public alarm and led to a sell-off in vaccine-related stocks.
The broader market also saw declines, with the Nasdaq-100 down 0.14% and the S&P 500 down 0.18%, reflecting a cautious sentiment among investors.
